Chapter 562: Going around and stealing the house
Some people in the team have already started planning. When the matter of the Glorious Secret Realm is over, they will try to find a way to test Avis's attitude, and then judge how to treat him.
In any case, after integrating the strength of Avis and his group, the strength of the tower attack team increased again. Princess Starlight also issued an order to continue to take down the entire tower as quickly as possible.
It was obvious that the third princess's prophet had also predicted something unusual.
Avis glanced at Master Sims, who was walking in the middle of the team and looked sick. He could sense the injuries of this so-called seventh-level prophet and the serious loss of his destiny power.
This situation usually occurs when the fortune teller uses some forbidden secret technique of fate to desperately try to spy on future changes.
As everyone continued to climb, the fourth and fifth floors were broken through one after another.
The enemy did not send out any stronger beings, but only used a large number of low-level strange creatures and faceless cultists to slow down everyone's progress.
Anvis and the three princesses all smelled an unusual atmosphere in there, but faced with the many strange creatures sent by the enemy, they were unable to break through quickly for a while.
The enemy has made up their minds. If they don't fight you head-on, they will send a large number of cannon fodder to delay everyone's time. These monsters with little intelligence are also very fierce. No matter how many people die, they act as if they didn't see it.
Even though the Third Princess Starlight used her ultimate move again and cleared out a lot of creatures at once, these two levels still consumed one and a half magic hours of everyone's time.
But on the sixth floor of the tower, things became completely different.
The two Green Flame followers who had escaped earlier were now gathered on this floor. Behind them, there were three more beings whose bodies were also covered in dark green flames.
Unlike the previous two followers who still maintained their humanoid bodies, these three new Green Flame followers have completely lost their human form.
One looked like a giant black nest-building spider, another resembled a rotting pterosaur, and the last was simply a huge amorphous black mass.
At the same time, the entire area of the sixth floor was transformed into a cave of flesh and blood. The ground and walls were covered with wriggling dark green flesh and blood, and one could even feel the slight tremor underfoot when stepping on it.
These flesh and blood have extremely high magic resistance and strong chaos radiation. They are difficult to clean up and force everyone to consume a large amount of magic power to maintain protection at all times, while the enemy's combat effectiveness is greatly enhanced.
At this point, everyone finally faced a real tough battle. The intensity of the enemy's resistance was completely different from the first five levels. With the added bonus of the environment, those ordinary weird creatures had combat power comparable to that of the seventh level.
The enemy's high-end combat power is equally as strong as everyone else's. Under the influence of divine power, the three newly appeared followers also possess combat power that barely reaches the ninth level.
Even if several princes and princesses and the descendants of the four major families used all their means, they could only maintain a state of equal strength.
Looking at this situation, Avis suddenly felt a little anxious.
A vague and mysterious omen was reminding him that if he could hurry up, maybe there was still hope of saving Evan.
Looking at Prince Lanno, Landon and others who were paddling around him, Avis was not prepared to wait any longer.
These people definitely have their own trump cards, but since they are not of one mind, they probably won't use them unless it is absolutely necessary.
So, it would be better to use them to attract the enemy's attention below, while sneaking to the top of the tower and waiting for an opportunity to disrupt the sacrificial ceremony.
Thinking of this, Avis moved his left hand slightly and pressed on the cover of the old secret book. Invisibly, an independent clone sealed in the pages replaced his original position, and the main body disappeared with the help of the effect of [Dark Side of the Moon].
All of this was done in a very covert manner. Even Alanis and Prince Lanno, who were beside Avis, did not notice anything unusual about him.
After all, although Avis's participation in the battle had a significant impact on the war situation, he almost entirely relied on external forces such as summoned creatures to fight, and his main body was always paddling in the back, so it was actually almost the same whether he was there or not.
Only the Dark Crow in Lanton's mind vaguely sensed something and looked suspiciously in the direction of Avis, but found nothing.
As a spell-like effect that once deceived the Ninth-Level Extreme Speaker, many strange creatures were unaware of Avis being shrouded in the effects of [Dark Side of the Moon].
In addition, Avis deliberately avoided a certain distance near the Green Flame followers, and after spending some time, he successfully sneaked into the passage leading to the seventh floor.
However, before actually entering the seventh floor, Avis first changed his attire, removing all the magic ceremonial costumes and other decorations, and instead replaced them with a nondescript magic-isolating cloak and mask.
He still remembered the exposure experience described by Alanis. Under the power of the priests, the seventh layer had formed a space similar to the divine domain. He was not prepared to gamble whether the effect of the dark side of the moon could be hidden from the prying eyes of divine power.
However, what made Avis feel a little relieved was that when he stepped into the seventh floor, there were no unexpected situations around him.
Compared to the six floors below, the seventh floor was not very large. In the center of the gray-white rock hall, a pitch-black stone altar that was obviously recently built and whose style was incompatible with the hall itself stood in the middle.
A priest in a dark green ritual robe stood on top of the altar, facing a ball of dark green flame at the core of the altar, and it was unknown what he was doing.
Around the altar, a group of people wearing different clothes but with the same fanatical expressions knelt in a circle facing the altar. On their bodies, wisps of smoke-like substances slowly rose and gathered towards the green flame at the core of the altar.
Among these people, Avis saw many familiar faces. After a quick glance around, he soon saw his second brother Evan in the crowd.
After observing carefully, Avis discovered that the green flame seemed to be able to absorb some destiny characteristics from everyone.
Different from the power of the web of destiny that the prophet gains from assisting the child of destiny to complete his goal, this kind of absorption directly strips away everyone's original destiny and gathers it on oneself.
If that green flame was a person, then the effect would be to forcibly separate their destined adventure from its original owner and transfer it to themselves.
This method of separating fate can be achieved by high-level prophets on their own, but basically no one will do that.
Because that will not only cause serious backlash from the web of fate, but will also cause one's own fate to be interfered with and restricted by the fate of the original owner, causing one to go from being a chess player to a chess piece.
As an eighth-rank prophet, Anvis understood immediately. The priest wanted to use this method to make the green flame deeply entangled with the web of fate of the main material world, so as to locate the coordinates for the return of the Outer God who was the source of the green flame.
We must not let him go on.
After estimating the maximum safe distance, Avis immediately sneaked up to Evan.
The priest who controlled the power of the outer gods was a strong enemy, and Avis was not sure that he could defeat him. The bottom line task he set for himself was to destroy the ceremony, and then delay the time until the support of the ninth-level outsiders arrived.
In this case, if a war breaks out in a while, he will not have the energy to protect the safety of these people.
The best way is to send them to a safe place in advance, or wake them up and let them find ways to save themselves.
